"...Is it so terrible to be human?" the younger man murmured softly to him as he turned away to give his brother some privacy.
The anger on older man's face slowly diminished as he hung his head down to hide the emptiness he felt inside, "...It is when being human brings nothing but pain into your life."

Damon, who just got back from his outing with his friends, paused suddenly in the middle of his track and looked behind the wall to see Rosalyn talking to one of his house maids. Curious by their conversation, the dark haired male slowly creeped closer and hid himself within the shadow.

A moment of tense silence filled the air between them as Damon swallowed the sour taste inside his mouth. He shook his head in disbelieved, "I can't believe this," he muttered, "I can't believe they did this."
